How to avoid air travel woes (Part 1)


Do you know that air passengers in the Philippines are now protected whenever they travel.  2014 has been a nightmare for a lot of airline passengers. From experiencing traffic to and from the airports, long queues in check-in counters, delayed flights, low standard airport lounge and boarding areas. It’s still a struggle traveling around the 7,107 Philippine Islands.


Y’all need to know your rights as a paying customer…knowing is one thing, being firm on getting your benefits is another. 

Hope my blog can help you get around things in your future airline travels.
